After I told a neighbor to be good to his equipment and check it over before using it, because I am now concentrating on fixing my own stuff and not fixing everybody else's stuff. I get home late from work Friday, and see this setting by my shop. It's his Massey 65 I put an alternator on for him last week. He said it was rattling when he was brushhogging with it. I asked if he checked the oil, and he told me he usually does. (More of an add oil occasionally than change oil type) Nice guy, just doesn't check stuff he should. It took over 5 Qts to touch the bottom of the dipstick. He said it was doing it for quite a while though, I told him it would be a miracle if its OK. He started it up, pretty quiet, decent oil pressure, and took off with it. Wasn't 15 minutes later he was back and it was knocking bad. Oil on dipstick looks like antiseize now. I told him its toast now and checking the oil everyday is cheaper than what this will cost him. Especially since it was his wife's dad's tractor. Too bad, was a nice tractor.
